Book Reviews of Chuck Amuck: The Life and Times of an Animated Cartoonist
Book Review: Animator Extroadinaire
Summary: 5 Stars
Like Tex Avery, Chuck Jones knows how to tell a joke! His autobiography is as whimsical as the characters that he created and/or supervised in his long association with Warner Brothers. His influence is seen in current animated shows such as "Animaniacs," "Histeria," and "TinyToons." So respected is Jones that many filmmakers have touted the importance that his work has had on their careers.The book is a delight to read, with its accompanying illustrations, as well as Jones's personal reflections on the development of his beloved characters. All of the highlights of his 50-year career are included here, with full details and interesting text.
As one who shows no signs of slowing down, the octagenaric Jones will continue to delight present and future audiences with his superlative animated films.
